i just wanted to know for when i check out target tommorow also the ultimate bubmblebee too.....

It isn't DPCI specific to that particular toy, but the general Deluxe assortment. You'll have to check it out to see if it's there. Now if you want the UPC# I have that from my '08 toy:

653569237600

I save all my UPCs

Best of luck to you. I honestly don't know how I was able to find one 3 weeks ago. I never have luck with these things.

WalMart can look things up using the UPC. Target can but usually refuses. They perfer their own DPCI.

The thing I'm not sure about is if they can look up the UPC for an individual item in an assortment case.

087-06-1886 Transformers Movie Ultimate Bumblebee

Target cannot look for a specific figure in an assortment, just quantity of a particular assortment. WalMart can look for a specific figure if you have the UPC

i know how to use dpci's at target, but how do you use upc's at wally mart. you just straight up ask an employee if they got an item with this upc and they go check it out?
.... my target usually has the price checkers with the keypad and computer screens so i just input dpci's and it shows if they got some or not. but whats this about calling target hotline and theyre able to tell you where they have an item available. this could be a sham because on the target website you're supposedly allowed to look to see which stores closest to you has the item you're looking for. the website says the store has it when they really dont. this is because target doesnt update every stores inventory on their website. soo maybe the person at the target hotline could be telling you a store has the item, when they really dont.... probably because theyre using the same program as the website to check every stores inventory. just a thought.... but id really like to know how you guys use upc's at wally mart. thanks.

go to the store and give them the upc, then when they say that they do have but its in the back, just ask them if they can bring out. that what usaully happens at target when you use dpci's to see if they got items in the back, and when they do, you ask if they could bring it out. but im not sure how wal mart does it, they may get anal about it.
